will not be undone. The overwhelming

TROUBLES OF A POSTMASTER.
How the Local Postmaster is Wor-
ried by Matters not Concerning
his Office.

How the Local Postmaster Is Wor-
ried by Matters not Concerning
his office.
Ii Is surprising the many peculiar re-
quests that are made upon q postmaster,
and from what can be learned the local
postmaster is not an exception to the
rule. Persons write to him upon mat
tiers OF private interest, such as the
whereabouts OF relatives, the business
standing OF citizens, the character OF in
dividuals, and host OF other personal
matters. As q public official he is sup
posed to answer these questions oour-
teously, and often at his own expense,
for the writer's fail to enclose q stamp
for the necesssry-answer.
The postmaster is not bound to pay
any attention to these communications
and some Of them he does not because
they are personal Inquiries that could
agencies, but II he can assist distressed
relatives, or give any one pointers as to
the desirsbility OF settling here, he glad
ly does SO, because he belives by so
doing he is doing . public service.
There is another class Of CORES
pondents that are peculiar and
these are they who send letters here
with the request that they be
mailed at the San Antonio pots
office. These letters are sealed and
come from all parts Of the states and are
evidently sent here for the purpose OF
concealing the whereabouts OF the
writer. In this action the end is de-
feated, for by law, the postmaster Ia
compelled to write on the outside OF the
envelope: Received under cover from
--, with the request thst II be
mailed at the San Antonio postoffice.

business dead away and shows where

MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE.

Arrangements Almost Perfected
Will Celebrate at San Pedro Park.
The arrangement committee hsving In
hand the approaching celebration OF the
Independence of Mexico, will report to-
night at general meeting Of the socie-
ties taking part. From member of the
committee the LIGHT learns that they
have decided on the location for the
celebration to be the San Pedro park,
and made all satisfactory arrangements
with Col. Kerble for Its use during the
three days Of the celebration. The pro-
gramme for the celebration will
be mnch the same as In for
mer years, consisting of gala pa
rades through the city, In which
the Mutualista, Benevolenoia, Union
Mexicana and italian societies will Join
In public speaking and orations at the
springs, music, vocal and Instrumental
and 10 feasting and dancing. The cele-
bration begins upon the 18th Of Septem-
Der, and embraces the 10Th and 18th and
probably will be continued until the
close OF the 18th. The sum Of $500 Is
now collected towards making a grand
success Of the fiesta. This year there
will be no opposing factions and the
only celebration Of the day will take
place at the San Pedro springs.
This celebration Is purely Mexican
celebration, and has nothing to do with
American politics, though, as In every
year, our American citizens, naturaliZed
from Mexico, celebrate 1t with as much
zest as though they yet lived In Mexico,
and were Mexican citizens.

SHE WANTED TO DIE.
But She Didn't Take Poison But
Took a Pint of Whisky.

But She Didn't Take Poison But
Took Pint of Whisky.
DR.. Shropshire was called up last
night by an excited negro who wanted
him to come with him at once as his
"wife" had taken poison. The accom-.
modating doctor dressed himself and
went with the man to the rear OF house
on San Pedro avenue, where the woman
was employed. The man introduced
the doctor to the woman while the lat
ter prepared for operation. The woman
most emphatically declared that
she wanted to die, and
would do so, In spite OF all
and, thrusting her handkerchief into her
mouth, she declared most emphatically
that she would take no medicine, but
while she was 80 declaring, the doctor
deftly administered an hypodermio in
lection. or course this powerful agent
soon acted as vigorous emetic, and in
few minutes all danger was over.
Then the truth came out. The woman
was servant employed at the house
and the man was frequent nocturnal
visitor, they had quarrelled and the
woman drank of what abe said
was poison, but what was in
reality q pint Of whisky. Both
were careful not to make noise, and
asked the doctor not to do so, and while
all this trouble was going on the family
slept on, Ignorant Of il or its cause.

SOMETHING DEFINITE.

The Executive Committee To Be
Work Cut Outline Patience
of Wisdom.
The man who would create Industries
must first thoroughly understand the
conditions under which such industries
can flourish. The committee OF 30, to
whom have been entrusted the work of
successfully organizing the capital and
brains Of this city into local improve
ment association, must thoroughly IN
stand the conditions under which such
work can be successfully prosecuted.
This knowledge includes no less the
general truths relating to such oondi-
tions than the specific facts favorable
and unfsvorable which must be accep-
ted. The committee meet tomorrow af-
ternOon to perfect organization. This
means the appointment Of an executive
committee, upon whose heads and
shoulders the whole weight OF this work
OF local improvement shall rest
until October, 1888. The selection OF
these men by the president OF the
committee will largely demonstrate his
ideas OF the work to be done, and will
have its influence In deciding the
minds Of moneyed men in this city as to
how much or how little stock they will
eontiye committed will then rest the
task Of determining what direction the
energies of the money and brain nf this
city shsll take in this work of imnrove.

Remarkable Surgery.

The science of surgery has made such won
derful progress in modern times, that the
most intricate and delicate operations are
now undertaken and carried to a successful
issue. There are now several well authenti-
Gated cases of what is known as pneumotony,
that is to say, the removal of diseased por-
lions of lungs in cases of consumption.
While, however, this delicate operation has
sometimes been successfully performed, the
risks attending 1t are so great, and the chances
of recovery so slight, that It is seldom resort
cd to. The safest plan in consumptive cases
is to use DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dscov-
cry. This will always cure the disease in its
earlier stages, thoroughly arresting the raw
ages OF the terrible malady, by removing its
Cause and healing the lungs.
